This is not at all what we want. We need to build an automated electric high speed cargo rail system connecting the coasts and major ports. The system has to have the ability for individual container units to be routed independently.
Nothing would compare to moving cargo at 300 mph or more on an efficient rail system.
We need trucking to be local or short range and eliminate individual trucks for long range delivery.
- bagacrap 7y agoNothing except moving the cargo at 50 or 100mph. A shipping container moving 300mph at ground level is going to encounter some insane wind resistance even if you do attach fairings.
- robomartin 7y agoSeriously? Look up TGV and imagine the cars have containers inside. Not that difficult. Far more efficient than trucks. And then there’s Hyperloop.
